Abstract:

Residents, transportation professionals, and decision-makers throughout the Piedmont

Triad generally agree that the prosperity of the region depends on having an adequate

transportation system. The ability to move people and goods quickly, efficiently, and

safely affects both this region’s economy and the quality of life. The purpose of this

report is to describe the implementation of Advanced Transportation Systems (ATS)

Technologies for the eleven Piedmont Triad Counties. Particular emphasis is being

placed on the Interstate 40/ Interstate 85 corridor.

Advanced technologies including so-called “smart highway” or IVHS technologies will

be utilized in order to help solve the traffic problems in the Triad. IVHS, which stands

for “Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems” actually is a misnomer because transit

systems are also included. Hence, ATS (Advanced Transportation Systems) is the title

that has been adopted to describe such transportation improvements in the Triad. ATS

(or IVHS) means using advanced technology to improve traffic flow on highways

without necessarily adding more lanes or roads. In addition, ATS means using

advanced technology to provide safer, more efficient transit service.

This report discusses transportation issues in the Piedmont Triad, including travel

demand management, a potential ATS corridor (I-40/I-85), current ATS/IVHS projects in

the Triad, and possible ATS projects for the future.
